Welcome to the home of all things Harakeke/Korari/Whitau/NZ Flax/Phormium Tenax: Flaxworx NZ by Rita Baker!

Creating taonga from our native fibers since 2006

Welcome to my new website (the old one did look a bit tired after 11 years of much use). I have downsized and de-cluttered this one a bit but essentially it is still mostly about mahi raranga and increasingly also about my other passion: photography.

If I was asked, what was the most important thing in the world; I would be compelled to reply; It is people, it is people, it is people!

They guide me, they keep me grounded and empower me at the same time. Feel free to be part of my journey - both the weaving one and the photography as well. Connect with me through various channels and means and meet me along the way.
